The Head of Planning submitted plans deposited as applications to develop land under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

24/0031/FUL, Penrhyn, Cedar Drive, Middlesbrough, TS8 9BY, renewal of planning permission for detached dwelling with garage

Members were advised that the application sought permission for the erection of a single storey, three-bedroomed detached dwelling.

The Development Control Manager stated that the application was identical to previously approved applications to construct a single storey, detached dwelling with surfaced driveway and detached triple garage. Vehicular access would be via the unmade private access drive from Cedar Drive

Members heard that the proposal had been assessed against local policy and guidance and was considered to be a high quality development that was in keeping with the surrounding area. Given its design and relationship to surrounding properties it would not have any significant impact on the amenity of nearby residents.

It was advised that 12 neighbours had been consulted with no comments or objections. There had also been no objections raised by the Ward Councillor or Community Council. 

The Development Control Manager advised the committee that the applicant had successfully applied for nutrient credits from Natural England and based on these, Natural England considered that the proposed development would not damage or destroy the interest features for which the site had been notified and had no objection.

The proposal was considered to be a high-quality development that was in keeping with the surrounding area. Given its design and relationship to surrounding properties it would not have any significant impact on the amenity of nearby residents.

ORDERED: that, the application be approved subject to the conditions detailed in the report and an additional condition in relation to nutrient neutrality.  . 

24/0371/FUL, North of the B1365, Land at Newham Hall, Coulby Newham,

proposed construction of Access Road with associated SUDS Basins and Swales

The Head of Planning advised committee members that permission was sought for the construction of an access road with associated Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDs) including basins and swales. The development also included landscaping which included works to achieve the required 10% biodiversity net gain. The site was located to the north and west of Newham Hall Farm and Newham Hall with access from the B1365 and Bonnygrove Way.

Members heard that the wider site was allocated for housing in the Local Plan. Whilst it may have been preferable for an application to be submitted for the road and outline housing development, together with a masterplan for the wider site. The application that had come forward is for the road only. Members were advised that the Local Planning Authority cannot refuse to consider the application, it must be assessed on a standalone basis.

The application that had been submitted for the road had taken into consideration the draft masterplan and the masterplan had been drafted on the basis of the road as proposed to ensure there was no conflict between the road and the housing development.
